De Sousa Miguel | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Miguel was fascinated by Chagall's dream world, by Dali's oneiric universe and by the bodies represented in Bacon and Schiele's paintings and began to create colourful and poetic works, populated by eccentric characters. He hates routine and works when the desire seizes him, allowing himself to take detours towards sculpture when he is no longer satisfied with his visual pictorial representations, going from colour to monochrome when he is afraid of getting stuck. He is self-taught and masters many techniques, which he uses and mixes according to his inspiration. His encounter with oil paints, watercolours, collage and pencil give his works a spark of life and a fascinating feeling of movement.
